Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 957 Zhou Cuilian Asks for a Gift

Xu Chenming managed to coax Liu Xu'er from crying, and the two stood up together, looking at each other again.

Liu Xu'er said softly: "Brother Xu, why are you dark? You also lost weight."

Xu Chenming smiled and said: "It's okay, this is strong. I have been at home for the past three years, and I have been helping my father farm the land. I only go out to do some carpentry work during the slack season, and occasionally do odd jobs, just to exercise Much stronger."

Liu Xu'er knew that Xu Chenming was a very strong young man, and he must be working so hard to make himself a better life.

Thinking that Xu Chenming has done so much for himself in the past three years, Liu Xu'er is really sweet and distressed.While Liu Dacheng was not paying attention, he secretly touched Xu Chenming's thin and handsome cheek.

Xu Chenming smiled slightly and said, "Xu'er, I will treat you well and will not let you suffer a little bit with me. I also want to thank you. You have waited for me for three years in order to make me a filial piety." .”

"Don't talk about it, this is what I should do." Liu Xu'er was extremely gentle, and said: "I promised Brother Xu, and I will definitely do it."

Liu Dacheng just deliberately pretended not to look at this side, but the appearance of Liu Xuer and Xu Chenming meeting again after parting really moved him.

Seeing the affection in the girl's eyes, and seeing the love on Xu Chenming's face, Liu Dacheng was relieved.

Zhou Cuilian cooked a few dishes, and greeted everyone to eat.

Xu Chenming and Liu Xu'er were sitting together, and they were serving each other's food with a sweet look on their faces.

Zhou Cuilian looked at Xu Chenming secretly, and saw that he was pretty good-looking, and his body was pretty good, but...the clothes on his body were not so bright, and seemed to be worse than Liu Dacheng's clothes.

Thinking about it, although Xu Chenming came in a carriage before, but after he got out of the carriage, he gave the coachman money, and the coachman went back. Obviously, the carriage did not belong to his own family.

Zhou Cuilian sucked the tip of her chopsticks and asked, "Xiao Xu, you're here this time to propose marriage to our Xu'er, right?"

Xu Chenming quickly put down his chopsticks, and said solemnly: "Yes, auntie. Xu'er has been waiting for me for three years, and I wish to marry her back home as soon as possible." After speaking, he gave Liu Xu'er an affectionate look.

Liu Xu'er was embarrassed by him, lowered her head to poke the rice in the bowl, and said coquettishly, "Mother, why do you ask this, hurry up and eat."

"What's the matter, you are my daughter, the flesh that fell from my body. Mother, can you care about your lifelong affairs, can't you?" Zhou Cuilian asked Xu Chenming again, "Then why are you here to propose marriage?" Sincerely? You should be very sincere and want to marry Xuer back, right?"

Xu Chenming nodded, and said repeatedly: "That's it. Our family's ancestors accumulated blessings, which allowed me to find such a good girl as Xu'er. Of course, I have the sincerity to marry her."

But after answering, Xu Chenming felt that something was wrong, looked at Liu Xu'er, then at Zhou Cuilian, and asked, "Then what Auntie means is... If there is any condition, please tell me, our family will try our best to meet it."

"Haha, look, Xiao Xu is really a real person." Zhou Cuilian sucked the ends of her chopsticks again, and said, "Our family Xu'er is gentle, sweet and good-looking. In fact, he is not very old, he just turned seventeen. That's all. In the village, she is one of the best girls, and I am really lucky to marry her."

Liu Dacheng heard that something was wrong with Zhou Cuilian, gave her a cold look, coughed again, and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I am Xu'er's father, and I am the master of this family."

Zhou Cuilian immediately said: "Yes, yes, you are her father, you decide. But I am her mother, her biological mother. I can't cheat my daughter. Besides, it is normal to ask for a gift when marrying a daughter-in-law, yes Right, Xiao Xu?"

Hearing Zhou Cuilian's question about himself, Xu Chenming nodded immediately and said, "Yes, my father also said that although our family is poor, we will not lose Xu'er. The bride price has been prepared, but I don't know if Uncle Liu, Will the aunt be satisfied?"

Liu Xu'er also heard that her mother's meaning was wrong, and quickly said: "Satisfied. My father said, don't care about these things."

"Who said it doesn't matter?" Zhou Cuilian raised her voice and said, "The girl is good-looking and has a good character, so the bride price will naturally be much higher. This is not the cabbage on the street. If no one wants it, it will be sold cheap. The better The higher the price, the higher the price. Xu’er, listen to your mother telling you that if the dowry is less when you get married, your in-law’s family will not know how precious you are, and they will gradually ignore you. Yes. The only way to treat you well is to ask for more gifts and let them know that your daughter-in-law is honorable."

"Mother, what are you talking about? Who is the cabbage?" Liu Xu'er was so angry that she put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, kicked Zhou Cuilian under the table, and said, "I know Brother Xu will treat me well. That's enough. I didn't even think about the bride price from their family, but I just want Brother Xu to treat me well, and we will live a good life in the future, that's enough."

Zhou Cuilian was also anxious, and put the bowls and chopsticks in her hand heavily on the table, shouting: "How can it be done? You are married, you have to wash clothes, cook, and have children for their family. Our Liu family is like a baby." Why should you be a servant when you get married? Besides, if you look at our current conditions, our family is one of the best in Pingshan Village, right? It stands to reason that even if you want to marry into the town, It's not impossible. If you are willing to endure hardships with him, then I can ignore it, but we have raised you for so many years, and there is hard work without credit, so we can't let you marry for nothing. "

"Okay, have you said enough?" Liu Dacheng was so angry that he slapped the table directly, and said, "I've said it all, and this family doesn't matter what I say, so you shut up. The matter between Xu'er and Xiao Xu is the responsibility of the three of us." It was promised years ago, you can't control it."

"Why? I gave birth to my daughter, so I can control it. You want your daughter to be the same as I was back then, marrying without any gift? Didn't I follow you for so many years? If it wasn't bitter If I can't go on, how can I leave?"

Zhou Cuilian raised her voice and shouted.But after yelling, I felt that the last sentence was really unpleasant, and I made a mistake, so I closed my mouth and shrank back.

However, after she made such a fuss, no one else was interested in eating.Liu Dacheng was so angry that he pushed his wheelchair and left. Liu Xu'er also gave Zhou Cuilian a look, and pulled Xu Chenming away.

Zhou Cuilian flinched and flinched, but she felt angry, she stood up and chased to the door, and yelled at Liu Xuer: "You damn girl, you dare to stare at me? Am I not your biological mother? Who said you should be good at it?" You are filial to me? If you don't listen to your mother, you are not filial."
